Cannes Film Festival 2026: Demi Moore joins a prestigious and very international jury – Grazia

Better very late than never! One week before the start of the festivities, we finally know the names of the members of the jury of the
Cannes Film Festival 2026 – the 79th edition of the will be held from May 12 to 23. And suffice to say that the casting looks good. This year, 22 films will be in competition and South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook will chair the discussions. To help him in his heavy task of awarding the precious Palme d’Or (but not only that) he will be very well supported. Judge instead.

Festival de Cannes 2026 : un jury très international (et très
cinéphile)

Around him, the festival brought together a group of nine personalities from very different backgrounds. We will meet the Hollywood star there Demi Moore (which we no longer present), the Chinese director Chloé Zhao
(double Oscar winner in 2021 for Nomadland), Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental values), British actress Ruth Negga (Presumed Innocent), the Ivorian actor Isaach De Bankolé (The Brutalist), Belgian filmmaker Laura Wandel (It’s not Adam), Chilean director Diego Céspedes (The mysterious gaze of the flamingoe) and the British screenwriter Paul Laverty (who works notably with Ken Loach).

This is perhaps the detail that gets people talking the most and a situation rare enough to be worth mentioning: there is no French star in this jury 2026 !

It’s not the best for Jacob Elordi

Note also that, according to Page Six of New
York PostAustralian actor Jacob Elordi (Stormwind, Euphoria) should have been part of the Cannes jury. He was forced to give up after breaking his foot… Remember that the mistress of the opening and closing ceremonies will be
Eye of Hadarthat Peter Jackson and Barbra Streisand will each receive an honorary Palme d’Or.
